potential customers. A pop-up shop allows to
communicate the brand’s promise to the customers
through the use of a unique and engaging physical
environment while creating an immersive shopping
experience.

5. 2. REASONS
Why a Allocacoc Pop Up Store makes sense?
1. Leveraging online presence with offline exposure:
By engaging prospective customers offline and delighting them with an unforgettable
experience and quality products, you can then point them to your online site and social
accounts, where they can stay in touch and continue to buy your wares.
2. CUSTOMER EDUCATION:
Get people intrigued enough to either become customers on the spot or solid prospects.
A pop-up store is an excellent way to educate your customers on all that is great about
your products. Make sure your sales staff is educated and trained on the unique selling
points of your wares, and that they have a clear understanding of how you want them to
articulate these points to customers.
3. WEBROOMING (Customer can see the product live instead of online)
A study by Accenture showed that 78% of shoppers are “webrooming” (browsing online,
then purchasing in a store) today.
4. SCARCITY “Op is Op”:
Scarcity drives action through customers wanting exclusive, limited edition, or other
products they can't get otherwise, and a pop-up shop puts you in a perfect position to
take advantage.
6. 3 GOALS
1. Revenue Generation
1. Brand exposure/customer feedback:
Gaining constant customer feedback on brand, shopping
experience, and determine which products are winners and
which will never sell so much.
3. Customer Engagement/Retention/Loyalty
Generate Word of Mouth and lead generation, opening
space for CRM tactics (Up-sell/Cross-Sell)

10. 7. LEASE, LICENSE AND PERMITS
Lease
Under a lease, the person using the stated land is considered a tenant, and given exclusive
possession for the duration of the time agreed upon, otherwise known as the “term” of the
lease. The “terms” will also include what you’ll be able to do the space when it comes to
modifications, hours of operation and several of the other key aspects discussed above,
including rent, utilities...etc.
Has your landlord ever done a temporary lease arrangement before? How accessible are
they? Are they willing to work with you to improve the space? These are key questions that
need to be asked during lease negotiations, and will weigh heavily in ensuring the success
of your pop-up store.
TIMEFRAME OF THE LEASE
How long a retailer should keep a pop-up store open depends on the business objectives
and budget. Most pop-up stores are open for about three months. Make sure that you give
yourself enough time to see results - at least three to four weeks.
Licence
This gives legal authority to you, the licensee, to use the owner or licensor’s asset, without
which you using it would be unlawful. These are generally given out for more short-term
occupants but comes with generally a more limited arrangement and does not guarantee
exclusive use of the property.
Permit
Each region will have its own regulations, so based on what you’re intending to do, you’ll
want to make sure you’re within the bounds of the law. For example, many cities require you
to have a permit to sell food and alcohol.

STOCK MANAGEMENT:
Knowing how you want to set up the store - what products and how much of them you will be
displayed as well as lighting, decor, and theme - is critical in creating an atmosphere that
speaks to the brand identity and will leave a lasting impression on consumers long after the
store is closed.
PRODUCT DISPLAY
What does the lighting communicate? Can lights be dimmed or alternative lamps and lighting
brought in?
SIGNAGE
An established retail space with large signage instantly gives the brand leverage in the
consumer's mind. It is important to determine whether your brand can benefit from piggy-
backing with a reputable brick and mortar, or if it is ready to hold up on its own.
